ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 13.-Advices from
different portions in Texas note the fail of
copious rains last night for 800 miles along

thousands of dollars to the country. In
many places in Texas rain has not fallen for

THERE are people who really enjoy Wagneri-
an music, and there are people who pretend to
like it. The latter, there is to suspect,
form the vast majority of opera-goers. The
sufferings of these must be great during any
presentation of the musical Shakspeares"
drama, but the peculiarities of ''Siegfried."

first time, are such must cause an intensity

ner of their kind in operas, to an accompani-
ment of very thunderous music. In the Wagner
operas with which the public has become famil-
lar there intervals of rest-what might be
termed musical oases--in which the chief vocal
lists perform their several parts to the
delight of all hearers. The popularity of any
given opera depends greatly upon
the frequency with which these intervals occur.
In s.Siegfried" they are infrequent. There is so
much for the various monsters to do that they
can not possibly accomplish it in less than two
acts and a half. BY beginning promptly at s
o'clock they are enabled to get ready for the ap-
pearance of the prima donna at .1l:45 At pre-

Brunhilde of the drama, enters upon the scene

WORK OF THE HUMANE.

At the annual meeting of the American
Humane Association which was held in Roch-
ester, N. V. recently, reports from the va
rious State societies read and showed
the work, so far as it has been pushed to be
n an encouraging condition. Indiana, how
ever, was not represented, and to her shame
be it said VAS classed as a part of the mission
ary field of the association. In accordance
with this arrangement, Hon. C. S. Hubbard,
Of Knightstown, who k@e been engaged in
humane work for the Ohio society during the
past year. has been assigned to duty in this
State, and is now in this city for the purpose
ef arousing an interest in the matter and or
xanizing an association. a society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals did exist here
at one time, but accomplished little. partly
Sor the reason that there was no law under
which punishment could be inflicted upon of
tenders, but partly, also, because it was too
tasily discouraged by the apathy of the pub
lie IN regard to its purpose.
The society which It is proposed
20 organize will have somewhat wider scope,
In that it will include the protection of chill
sren. It will also endeavor to cultivate
ku name sentiment among children-the fact
being recognized that the feeling of kindness
and tenderness towards animals and TO his
,ellow-beings is not inherent in the human in
sant, but must be acquired. That it is fire.
quently never acquired is evidenced by the
acts of cruelty perpetrated on every hand.
The mission of these associations is a noble
one, and one in which every citizen should
feel an interest It is the purpose of Mr.
Hubbard to form societies in every town in
he State, where the people will unite with

Mr.. English on the New York Election.

To the Editor New fork World.
In response to your inquiries l have to say
that in my judgment the recent election in the
state of New York makes it reasonably certain
that President Cleveland will be renominated
and reelected. In my opinion this will be Just
as it should be, for although he has kept too
many Republicans IN Office to suit many Demo
Gratis still he is giving the country clean,
honest and able administration, which ought to
satisfy all classes especially all business men,
and as the Offices he will doubt give prefer
ence to Democrats, other things being equal, as
far as the Law will allow. If the country should
continue to be prosperous. as is probable. MIR.
Cleveland would receive not only the Democratic
vote but the support of that very large class of
people who care more for their material welfare
